Hi all. please leave anything you feel needs to be said.

Hey, just you let you guys know, the bottom of the Static Line Progression information (http://headcornparachuteclub.co.uk/static-line-parachuting.html) appears to be cut off, it is quite bad with Mozilla Firefox and not so bad with Internet Explorer..

I just thought you guys should know.


Thanks,


Tom

Hi Tom
Thanks for that. i wouldn't have spotted that in ages. I will resolve today. Cheers

Hey Simon, no problem, glad to help!


Also, for people on the Static Line progression, do they normally qualify in the minimum number of jumps?


Best Regards,



Tom

[Squaddie]

Hi again

People do qualify in the minimum amount but I would say its probably about 30%. Most people have to repeat 1 or 2 jumps. Upto 25 would be normal.

Simon

[Tom Lawson]

Ok, thanks!


I shall be training in Easter, so perhaps see you then!



Tom

[Squaddie]

Great news. See you there.

Hey,

im also doing the static line progression, now on 20 second delay, but have found the whole system fantastic, you'll really enjoy it, it really is rewarding when you step another level.

probably see you over easter during your training.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!

Hey guys, i just want to check that it would be OK if i jump with a helmet camera on?


Thanks,




Tom

Hi Tom,
Sorry, but the answer's no!
You need a C-licence to jump with a camera, and you'll need 200 jumps to get your C-licence.
We can easily arrange to take a photo of your jump using the camera mounted on the plane. That'll all be arranged on the morning of your training.
See you at Headcorn,
Tony

Hey Tony,

Ah thats annoying, could you enlighten me as to the reason why one needs a 'C' license?


Could i have the camera somewhere else on my body? Or is the 'C' license needed to jump with a camera full stop?

[Cai]

Hey Tom,

Im not nearly as experienced as Tony, but im sure that C lisence is needed for camras full stop. For us as students its just another thing that lines could get caught on and at this early stage, we just would not want the hastle of trying to untangle lines from camras or even having to cut away.

However, Headcorn does do excellent pictures of your fall away from the plane, and then you can always arrange for someone to take pictures of you once you're under canopy from the ground.

hope, you enjoy it anyway, it really is the best buzz one can get

Hi Simon

Just to let you know that the link for the kit store is hosting a suspicious/fraudulent website.

Hi again Simon

I got it... the link is redirecting to www.thekitstore.co.uk instead of www.thekitstoreltd.co.uk

Ah yeah, thats fair enough. Well i look forward to obtaining my 'C' license then!

I should be making my first jump on April 10th, see some of you guys there perhaps!


All the best,
